Abstract:
Despite multimodal therapy, the prognosis of patients with metastatic Ewing sarcoma (ES) remains poor, with new treatments urgently needed. The disialoganglioside GD2, a well-established tumor-associated antigen, is expressed in 40% to 90% of ES cells, making it a suitable therapeutic target. Here we report 3 cases with newly diagnosed, metastatic, GD2-positive ES or Ewing-like sarcoma treated with the anti-GD2 antibody dinutuximab beta in addition to standard chemotherapeutic regimens. Treatment was well-tolerated, and all patients achieved complete remission, without evidence of relapse. First-line anti-GD2 immunotherapy in patients with metastatic, GD2-positive ES or Ewing-like sarcoma represents a promising therapeutic option that warrants further clinical evaluation.
